Hovers and Declaration in Windows [message #298142]

Hello everyone!

I was wondering why is it that when I run eclipse 3.1.1 in linux I get the
declarations of jdk stuff for example if I mouse over println in
System.out.println(); I get:

public void println(String x) {
synchronized (this) {
print(x);
newLine();
}
}
in the declarations window

yet when I do this in the same program running in windows I get nothing?

the same goes for hovers If I mouse over something it tells me about it
yet in windows nothing happens so for the same example of
System.out.println(); I get:

Terminate the current line by writing the line separator string. The line
separator string is defined by the system property line.separator, and is
not necessarily a single newline character

and again in windows I get nothing???

what do I need to do to add this feature to the windows eclipse?

Looks like the installed JRE does not contain source under Windows.

Hello,

Thankyou for the reply.

I ended up figuring out over the weekend that I had to jre's installed and
after removing the old jre and rebooting everything works fine now

Adam

Thanks again
